Feminine words for occupations...

[neotoma]

English is a weird language. There are feminine words for some occupations, though they're so archaic that they are mainly used for surnames now.

The ones I can come up with easily are:

webster -- weaver
baxter -- baker
brewster -- brewer
spinster -- spinner

Are there others?

ETA: I was thinking about words with the -ster construction, though words with the -ess construction are equally valid.

Sort of (but not really) like baxter is aviatrix, which was what Amelia Earhart was called.

Right. Lots of ways to get feminine words. -ster is Old English (Anglo-Saxon?), -trix is Latin.

I can make *lots* of words using Latin, some of them quite filthy. ;)
